3 k u
Answer:
first of all ,u need create a HInternet when it is created as following
constructor TULiveUpdate.Create(AOwner: TComponent);
var
FINet: HInternet;
// U need add WinINet to uses first
begin
inherited;
FINet := InternetOpen('WinINet1', 0, nil, nil, 0);
end;
then u need check if it is need update?
function TULiveUpdate.NeedUpdate(const FileName: string): Boolean;
var
LFileS, SFileS: Integer;
LFileT, SfileT: string;
begin
// Link to ftp Server(u need declare FPath first)
FftpHandle := InternetConnect(FINet, PChar(FPath), 0, '', '',
Internet_Service_Ftp, 0, 255);
if FftpHandle = nil then
raise Exception.Create('Can''t link to ftp Server'+ FPath + '!');
// Compare FileSize
LFileS := GetFileSizeA(FileName);
SFileS := GetFileSizeW(ExtractFileName(FileName));
// Compare FileDate
LFileT := GetFileDateTimeA(FileName);
SFileT := GetFileDateTimeW(FileName);
Result := (LFileS SFileS) or (LFileT SFileT);
end;
last , u can LiveUpdate now, If file is run , u need close it and down it, then open it again
function TULiveUpdate.LiveUpdate(const FileName: string): Boolean;
var
FileIsRun: Boolean;
hFile: THandle;
begin
FileIsRun := FileIsInUse(FileName);
// u need set TargetFile first
if not FtpGetFile(FFTPHandle, PChar(FileName), PChar(TargetFile),
False, File_Attribute_Normal, Ftp_Transfer_Type_Binary, 0) then
RaiselastOSError;
if FileIsRun then
begin
// If file is run, delete it and open a new process to open the Lasted file
DeleteMe(FileName);
hFile := OpenProcess(1, False, FileProcessID);
if SameText(FileName, ExtractFileName(ParamStr(0))) then
ShellExecute(Application.Handle, '', PChar(FileName), nil, nil, 1);
TerminateProcess(hFile, 0);
end;
end;
